The Summer Conditioning Program will include a varied daily program including the development of proper lifting techniques in preparation for building strength and learning Olympic lifts.

Strength work will begin with bar patterns and include 2-3 Olympic lifts and ground-based lower body strength work. Following lifting, will be field activities interspersed with track work and finishing with a static stretching session to wrap up.

 
All conditioning activities will take place outdoors in order to minimize transmission risk for COVID-19.

- The physical distancing of at least 6’ (The length of one of the Olympic Bars) must be maintained at all times
- Following training, all equipment touchpoints will be wiped down with a mild beach solution
 
Should inclement weather create a need to cancel a training session, Coach Jack will contact all regularly participating Alpine athletes by text between 7:00-7:15AM. In the event of light rain, activities will be modified for the weather. PLEASE dress appropriately.
 
All training will take place outdoors at SMS. When arriving, drive past the tennis courts to the back of the building. You will see the area set up with lifting platforms there.
